Only confirm/ignore the same person at once. Well... for a few validation, I would understand. But here I have 3000 unconfirmed faces to review, and going 1 by one would be very tedious. Moreover, It happen several times that I confirmed a single face and rapidly confirmed the next good ones... but in the meanwhile, digiKam took the decision to re-arrange the faces, in such a way that my mouse click applied to an unwanted face. That is really frustrating. It's even worth if a face detection process is running in the background : faces get added/rearranged under my mouse even if I don't review anything, making it difficult (random/risky) to review faces. To be 100% safe, it seems digiKams needs me to 1) stop any background face detection process I may have launched 2) go into Unconfirmed faces, review 1 single face. 3) wait a few seconds that digiKam faces process stabilizes. loop 2,3. No need to say that 3000 faces will need years of review at this rythme. I intensively used face assignment in Picasa years ago, and I don't remember having such issue reviewing the "Unconfirmed" faces, even when background face detection was running. Maybe Picasa did not rearranged dynamically the unconfirmed faces, I'm not sure. Anyway, Picasa was build in a way that I was able to quickly review/assign people unconfirmed faces, in a stable and safe manner. Do you think that digiKam could get to this reliability point ? Could we imagine something stronger / faster / safer ? 1) support multiple (unconfirmed) face selection and then Confirm / Reject / Ignore/ Rename ? with no risk to get the selection modified/broken of course. 2) imagine a way for face thumbnails to stay in place until the manual review is finished. For instance when a people assignment is done, lock the arrangement, just remove the green rectangle. Update the display only if a manual Refresh is called. 3) more difficult, find a way to allow a safe (unconfirmed) people review while a face detection is running in the background. This means that detecting new faces would NOT change the face thumbnail arrangement. Maybe removing the people grouping and just adding the newly detected faces at the end, like a pile. Is there a sorting mode that I could configure to get to this point in the current version ? Warmest regards. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
